ABOUT THIS SECTION

Word processing is the use of computers to create, revise, and save documents for printing and future retrieval. This course is the first in a series of three Microsoft 2003 sections. It will provide you with the basic concepts required to produce basic business documents.

 

Historically, documents were painstakingly created and edited by hand. Over time, producing documents have become more efficient. Microsoft® Word 2003 makes creating and editing documents even easier by providing a user-friendly environment, enabling you to add text, graphics, tables, formatting, and more with just a few mouse clicks.
